For awhile people realized that if you spam calendar invites they appear on your phone. Not sure how rot was solved.

It wasn't even an invite, it was a calendar source (not sure of the exact name) which kept spwning more and more events as you go.

iirc there was a time where spamers would send calender invites to random gmail's
